JAPAN TRAINS AND JAPAN RAILWAY PASS:
No seriously, these things are shockingly punctual, we’re talking an average delay time of only 36 seconds punctual. The Shinkansen network of high speed trains has been operating in Japan for over half a century when the first line opened in 1964 connecting Tokyo and Osaka…Since then, the network has expanded into one of the most modern and reliable transportation systems in the world, with nearly 10 billion passengers served to date. Exactly 2 hrs and 17 mins after leaving Tokyo, we arrived at our destination, eager to explore… but of course murphy's law had to kick in and mess everything up….
JAPANESE HEALTHCARE / HOSPITAL VISIT:
It was only 3 weeks ago that I found myself in a South Korean hospital with chest infection.. and now here I was again in Japan with a UTI… Annoying? Yes, but we were also lucky to have this happen in two of the best countries to get sick in as an uninsured foreigner. The whole ordeal only took about an hour and a half, which included a consultation, testing, and a prescription for antibiotics…
FUSHIMI INARI SHRINE:
About 10 mins outside of downtown kyoto at the base of Mount Inari sits the shinto shrine: Fushimi Inari Taisha. A site famous for hundreds of vermilion torii gates, which straddle a network of trails that lead you 4 km into a wooded forest. Once we got past the hordes of people all vying for that perfect shot of the torii gates, we found ourselves pretty much alone deep within the gardens and sub-shrines. Fushimi Inari was built to worship the shinto and buddhist deity named Inari, the God of rice and prosperity and his fleet of messenger foxes. In Japan, the fox is considered a powerful ally in warding off evil influences as they themselves are magical and tricky shape-shifters. We didn’t see any foxes roaming the shrine but from the looks of it, another tricky creature had taken their place….
ARASHIYAMA BAMBOO GROVE / BAMBOO FOREST:
On the outskirts of Kyoto lies another iconic and photogenic site “The bamboo forest of Arshiyama” - much like the Fushimi Inari shrine, this was another one of those super idyllic, desktop wallpaper type places that we've dreamt about visiting for years. Now, if you do an image search on this place, the results will come back with what looks like a magical and forgotten trail where you’ll be alone amongst the towering bamboo stalks. That was the expectation, but the reality was something more like this…
KYOTO THOUGHTS:
So what can I say about Kyoto? Am I thankful for my time here? Yes. Is it everything I thought it would be? Not really. Now in all fairness, the whole going to the hospital thing definitely had an impact on our momentum ,but if I had to sum it up in one thought, it would be that while we SAW things in Kyoto… we EXPERIENCED Tokyo. For us, our Kyoto visit served as a reminder that having a memorable trip isn’t defined by how many desktop wallpapers you check off the list. Rather, it’s about experiencing the place you’re in by interacting with your environment, and getting a sense of the local vibe. Less seeing, more doing. So with that in mind, we set out with our remaining time in Kyoto looking for a uniquely Japanese experience that we still hadn't fully explored
IZAKAYA:
Ok so this is it, the most memorable part of our short stop in Kyoto was the food, now... our restaurant going experience was great, if a bit embarrassing at times due to our cluelessness, but things really got serious when we stumbled upon our first Izakaya
Think of an Izakaya as a small pub with tons of atmosphere and most importantly, some of the best food you’ve ever tasted. This is exactly the experience we were looking for.

A hotel in Kyoto, Japan features capsules which take the place of standard rented rooms.
Luxurious hotels with fully stocked bars, highly trained staff, gyms and a wealth of other amenities sometimes forget one of the most important things a guest needs ... sleep.
A hotel in Kyoto, Japan eliminated all those distractions. The minimalist establishment features futuristic décor but the main feature is the sleeping capsules which take the place of standard rooms. The design element has been described as sci-fi, thanks in part to the sleep technology utilized in the capsules and the modern, streamlined surrounding furnishings.
The hotel simply named 'nine hours' is reflective of the well known fact that humans need, on average, about seven hours of sleep per night to stay healthy and wake up refreshed for the following day.
The remaining two hours at the hotel are broken up between getting ready for bed and the early morning preparations needed for a new day,
which include spending some time in the hotel's shower and locker room with separate facilities for each gender.
Each pod is equipped with a Panasonic sleeping system that is said to gently induce the guest to a deep slumber.
What do you think of the minimalistic hotel concept?

Kyoto

Kyoto(京都市,Kyōto-shi, pronounced[kʲjoːꜜto.ɕi]; UK/kɪˈoʊtoʊ/, US/kiˈoʊ-/, or /ˈkjoʊ-/) is a city located in the central part of the island of Honshu, Japan. It has a population close to 1.5 million. Formerly the Imperial capital of Japan for more than one thousand years, it is now the capital city of Kyoto Prefecture located in the Kansai region, as well as a major part of the Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe metropolitan area. Kyoto is also known as the thousand-year capital.

Name

In Japanese, the city has been called Kyō (京), Miyako (都), or Kyō no Miyako (京の都). In the 11th century, the city was renamed Kyoto ("capital city"), after the Chinese word for capital city, jingdu (京都). After the city of Edo was renamed Tokyo (meaning "Eastern Capital") in 1868, and the seat of the Emperor was transferred there, Kyoto was known for a short time as Saikyō (西京, meaning "Western Capital").

Obsolete spellings for the city's name include Kioto and Meaco. Another term commonly used to refer to the city in the pre-modern period was Keishi (京師), meaning "metropolis" or "capital".

Teaching hospital

A teaching hospital is a hospital or medical center that provides clinical education and training to future and current health professionals. Teaching hospitals are often affiliated with medical schools and work closely with medical students throughout their period of matriculation, and especially during their clerkship (internship) years. In most cases, teaching hospitals also offer Graduate Medical Education (GME)/ physician residency programs, where medical school graduates train under a supervising (attending) physician to assist with the coordination of care.

In addition to offering medical education to medical students and physician residents, many teaching hospitals also serve as research institutes.

History

Although institutions for caring for the sick are known to have existed much earlier in history, the first teaching hospital, where students were authorized to methodically practice on patients under the supervision of physicians as part of their education, was reportedly the Academy of Gundishapur in the Persian Empire during the Sassanid era.

Kyoto University

Kyoto University(京都大学,Kyōto daigaku), or Kyodai(京大,Kyōdai) is a national university located in Kyoto, Japan. It is the second oldest Japanese university, one of the highest ranked universities in Asia and one of Japan's National Seven Universities. One of Asia’s leading research-oriented institutions, Kyoto University is famed for producing world-class researchers, including ten Nobel Prize laureates, two Fields medalists and one Gauss Prize.

History

The forerunner of the Kyoto University was the Chemistry School(舎密局,Seimi-kyoku) founded in Osaka in 1869, which, despite its name, taught physics as well. (舎密 is a transcription of a Dutch word chemie.) Later, the Third Higher School(第三髙等學校,Daisan-kōtō-gakkō) was established in the place of Seimi-kyoku in 1886, it then transferred to the university's present main campus in the same year.

Kyoto Imperial University(京都帝國大學,Kyōto-teikoku-daigaku) as a part of the Imperial University system was established on June 18, 1897, using the Third Higher School's buildings. The higher school moved to a patch of land just across the street, where the Yoshida South Campus stands today. In the same year of the university's establishment, the College of Science and Technology was founded. The College of Law and the College of Medicine were founded in 1899, the College of Letters in 1906, expanding the university's activities to areas outside natural science.

Fushimi Inari-taisha

Fushimi Inari Taisha(伏見稲荷大社) is the head shrine of Inari, located in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, Japan. The shrine sits at the base of a mountain also named Inari which is 233 metres above sea level, and includes trails up the mountain to many smaller shrines which span 4 kilometers and takes approximately 2 hours to walk up.

Since early Japan, Inari was seen as the patron of business, and merchants and manufacturers have traditionally worshipped Inari. Each of the torii at Fushimi Inari Taisha is donated by a Japanese business. First and foremost, though, Inari is the god of rice.

This popular shrine is said to have as many as 32,000 sub-shrines (bunsha(分社)) throughout Japan.

History

The shrine became the object of imperial patronage during the early Heian period. In 965, Emperor Murakami decreed that messengers carry written accounts of important events to the guardian kami of Japan. These heihaku were initially presented to 16 shrines, including the Inari Shrine.

From 1871 through 1946, Fushimi Inari-taisha was officially designated one of the Kanpei-taisha(官幣大社), meaning that it stood in the first rank of government supported shrines.

The whole ordeal only took about an hour and a half, which included a consultation, testing, and a prescription for antibiotics…
FUSHIMI INARI SHRINE:
About 10 mins outside of downtown kyoto at the base of Mount Inari sits the shinto shrine: Fushimi Inari Taisha. A site famous for hundreds of vermilion torii gates, which straddle a network of trails that lead you 4 km into a wooded forest. Once we got past the hordes of people all vying for that perfect shot of the torii gates, we found ourselves pretty much alone deep within the gardens and sub-shrines. Fushimi Inari was built to worship the shinto and buddhist deity named Inari, the God of rice and prosperity and his fleet of messenger foxes. In Japan, the fox is considered a powerful ally in warding off evil influences as they themselves are magical and tricky shape-shifters. We didn’t see any foxes roaming the shrine but from the looks of it, another tricky creature had taken their place….
ARASHIYAMA BAMBOO GROVE / BAMBOO FOREST:
On the outskirts of Kyoto lies another iconic and photogenic site “The bamboo forest of Arshiyama” - much like the Fushimi Inari shrine, this was another one of those super idyllic, desktop wallpaper type places that we've dreamt about visiting for years. Now, if you do an image search on this place, the results will come back with what looks like a magical and forgotten trail where you’ll be alone amongst the towering bamboo stalks. That was the expectation, but the reality was something more like this…
KYOTO THOUGHTS:
So what can I say about Kyoto? Am I thankful for my time here? Yes. Is it everything I thought it would be? Not really. Now in all fairness, the whole going to the hospital thing definitely had an impact on our momentum ,but if I had to sum it up in one thought, it would be that while we SAW things in Kyoto… we EXPERIENCED Tokyo. For us, our Kyoto visit served as a reminder that having a memorable trip isn’t defined by how many desktop wallpapers you check off the list. Rather, it’s about experiencing the place you’re in by interacting with your environment, and getting a sense of the local vibe. Less seeing, more doing. So with that in mind, we set out with our remaining time in Kyoto looking for a uniquely Japanese experience that we still hadn't fully explored
IZAKAYA:
Ok so this is it, the most memorable part of our short stop in Kyoto was the food, now... our restaurant going experience was great, if a bit embarrassing at times due to our cluelessness, but things really got serious when we stumbled upon our first Izakaya
Think of an Izakaya as a small pub with tons of atmosphere and most importantly, some of the best food you’ve ever tasted. This is exactly the experience we were looking for.

A hotel in Kyoto, Japan features capsules which take the place of standard rented rooms.
Luxurious hotels with fully stocked bars, highly trained staff, gyms and a wealth of other amenities sometimes forget one of the most important things a guest needs ... sleep.
A hotel in Kyoto, Japan eliminated all those distractions. The minimalist establishment features futuristic décor but the main feature is the sleeping capsules which take the place of standard rooms. The design element has been described as sci-fi, thanks in part to the sleep technology utilized in the capsules and the modern, streamlined surrounding furnishings.
The hotel simply named 'nine hours' is reflective of the well known fact that humans need, on average, about seven hours of sleep per night to stay healthy and wake up refreshed for the following day.
The remaining two hours at the hotel are broken up between getting ready for bed and the early morning preparations needed for a new day,
which include spending some time in the hotel's shower and locker room with separate facilities for each gender.
Each pod is equipped with a Panasonic sleeping system that is said to gently induce the guest to a deep slumber.
What do you think of the minimalistic hotel concept?

Kyoto Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia

Kyoto, Japan, has long been considered one of the country’s most beautiful cities. Once the capital of the nation, Kyoto is now an ultra-modern haven that retains a great deal of its ancient charm.
To see some of this long-established glamour, make your way to Kyoto Tower. Just two miles east of the tower is Gion, an entertainment quarter and home to many of Kyoto’s famous geishas. As you walk east through Gion, you’ll find even more old architecture, including several Ryokan, or traditional Japanese inns. Many date back to the Edo period, which ranged from 1603 to 1868.
During your Kyoto tour, take a rickshaw ride to the Sannen-zaka and Ninen-zaka districts, where cars are prohibited and traditional teahouses and temples adorn the nearby landscape. Kyoto is known as “The City of Ten Th...

Kyoto Hidden Spots: Amanohashidate | Japan Kyoto Travel Guide

Amanohashidate sandbar is an off the beaten path place you can visit when travelling to Kyoto.
Kyoto is one of the top destinations people travel to when coming to Japan, however with more and more tourists coming in each year and going to the same tourist spots, it's hard to enjoy Kyoto without having to be surrounded by crowds.
So, if you are like me and you want to enjoy travelling away from the big crowds then try going to Amanohashidate in the northern part of Kyoto.
There are trains and direct buses departing from Kyoto and Osaka and the best part is you can enjoy the beautiful view of the Japanese countryside.

Kyōto (京都) was the capital of Japan for over a millennium, and carries a reputation as its most beautiful city. However, visitors may be surprised by how much work they will have to do to see Kyoto's beautiful side. Most first impressions of the city will be of the urban sprawl of central Kyoto, around the ultra-modern glass-and-steel train station, which is itself an example of a city steeped in tradition colliding with the modern world.
Nonetheless, the persistent visitor will soon discover Kyoto's hidden beauty in the temples and parks which ring the city center, and find that the city has much...

Kyoto | Our favorite spots to visit

Copy the trip we took on Odigo!
https://www.odigo.travel/trips/57526db469702d66aa680f00
YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/odigotraveljapan
Kyoto is the number one travel destination in Japan, and because there are SO. MANY. things to see there it can be hard to figure out where to go. These are our three recommendations for first-time visitors: Kiyomizu-dera, Arashiyama (which is also where Tenryu-ji is), and Gion and the nearby street Shijo Dori + Yasaka shrine. Fushimi Inari Taisha is probably one of the more famous areas, but for us it was SO crowded that it was difficult to even get around. It kind of just made me feel sad because you could tell how incredibly beautiful and almost magical it would have been hundreds of years ago, but with the crowds today it was just about impossible t...

10 Best Things to do in Kyoto

There are a million things to do in Kyoto, but these were my personal favorites from my time in the most historical city in Japan.
Here are my 10 best things to do in Kyoto:
** The most important advice I can give is to wake up as early as possible, I mean super early.
1. Rent a bike - this is the best way to beat the tourist traffic in Kyoto.
---
2. Bamboo Forest - Small forest in the neighboring area of Arashiyama.
---
3. Fushimi Inari Shrine - It is literally a mountain of hidden shrines, symbolic figurines and a seemingly never-ending pathway to spiritual enlightenment.
---
4. NinjaDojoClass - Kyoto is the cultural mecca of Japan, and while you’re here its good to get a taste of that - be it fact or folklore.

5. Kyoto SamuraiExperience - As you’ve seen in last week’s video...

If you ever missed out on visiting Japan during the Cherry Blossom season, do not worry. During the fall it can be just as beautiful. Not only is the weather in November quite pleasing and less crowded than Hanami season, the colours of fall are absolutely breathtaking!

With autumn leaves red and gold falling from the trees, walking though the reflective streets after a rainfall, traditional wooden Machiya merchant houses and geisha's wandering the streets of Gion it really feels like you are transported back to the Tokugawa period.

Kyoto is known as “The City of Ten ThousandShrines” for good reason. Walk through the great open plazas of the Haian Shrine, or spend a quiet moment in the intimate confines of the Shorenin Temple and its beautiful gardens.
The most famous of Kyoto’s temples is Fushimi Inari-taisha, a stunning red complex that sprawls over Mount Inari, which is named after and dedicated to Inari, the fox spirit. A hike to the summit takes about two hours, and will lead you through thousands of colorful sub-shrines and thick, ancient forest. Once you’re at the top, you’ll have a stunning view of Kyoto.

Amanohashidate sandbar is an off the beaten path place you can visit when travelling to Kyoto.
Kyoto is one of the top destinations people travel to when coming to Japan, however with more and more tourists coming in each year and going to the same tourist spots, it's hard to enjoy Kyoto without having to be surrounded by crowds.
So, if you are like me and you want to enjoy travelling away from the big crowds then try going to Amanohashidate in the northern part of Kyoto.
There are trains and direct buses departing from Kyoto and Osaka and the best part is you can enjoy the beautiful view of the Japanese countryside.
http://www.amanohashidate.jp/lang/en_access.htmlPlaces visited at Amanohashidate, Kyoto:
- Amanohashidate Station
- Chionji Temple
- Chirimendoya (Bike Rental)
- Cable Car and Chair Lift At Fuchu Station
- Kasamatsu Park

Kyoto, JapanTravelGuide 2016 - Tourism & Vacations in Kyoto, Japan - Kyoto, Japan Trip 2016
Travel Videos HD, World Travel Guide http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=World1Tube
Kyōto (京都) was the capital of Japan for over a millennium, and carries a reputation as its most beautiful city. However, visitors may be surprised by how much work they will have to do to see Kyoto's beautiful side. Most first impressions of the city will be of the urban sprawl of central Kyoto, around the ultra-modern glass-and-steel train station, which is itself an example of a city steeped in tradition colliding with the modern world.
Nonetheless, the persistent visitor will soon discover Kyoto's hidden beauty in the temples and parks which ring the city center, and find that the city has much more to offer than immediately meets the eye.
See in Kyoto, Japan
=================
Kyoto offers an incredible number of attractions for tourists, and visitors will probably need to plan an itinerary in advance in order to visit as many as possible.
Japan National Tourist Organization's self-guided "Kyoto Walks" pamphlet is available in a ready to print PDF format here[12]. The guide enables first time visitors to tour the city with ease and with minimum fuss by providing bus numbers, names of bus stops and clearly marked walking routes. There are a variety of self-guided walks in different districts to sample Kyoto's various sites. If you see the browser's dialog box popping up, just click on it till the entire PDF document opens.
World Heritage Sites
In 1994, 17 historic sites were inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List under the group designation Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto. Fourteen of the listed sites are in Kyoto itself, two are in the neighbouring city of Uji and one is in Ōtsu.
Listed by location, the fourteen World Heritage Sites in the city of Kyoto are:
Northern Kyoto: Kinkaku-ji, Ryōan-ji, Ninna-ji, Kōzan-ji, Shimogamo Shrine, Kamigamo ShrineCentral Kyoto: Nijō Castle, Nishi Hongan-ji, Tō-ji
Eastern Kyoto: Kiyomizu-dera, Ginkaku-jiWestern Kyoto: Tenryū-ji, Koke-deraSouthern Kyoto: Daigo-jiImperialPalaces and Villas
Stroll through the regal retreats of the Imperial Palace or one of the two Imperial villas with gardens and teahouses managed by the Imperial Household Agency. These are the Imperial Palace (京都御所 Kyōto-gosho) and Sentō Imperial Palace (仙洞御所 Sentō-gosho) in Central Kyoto, Katsura Imperial Villa (桂離宮 Katsura-rikyū) in Western Kyoto, and Shugakuin Imperial Villa (修学院離宮 Shugaku-in-rikyū) in Northern Kyoto. All four of these sites are open to the public by reservation through the Imperial Household Agency. The gardens located within the precints of each palace and villa are at their most scenic during spring cherry blossom season and autumn where a riot of colors enchant visitors. Each property is still used from time to time for official state functions or for private visits by the current royal family members.
The Imperial Household Agency maintains a quota on the number of visitors to each site per tour. Admission is free. English guides are available at the Imperial Palace; however, tours of the Sento Imperial Palace, Katsura Villa, and Shugakuin Villa are conducted in Japanese only (English pamphlets are given at each destination upon entry and books are available for purchase if you'd like to know more). Overseas visitors can apply online to the Imperial Household Agency in English here [13]. On its website are write ups and videos in English for interested visitors to gauge which ones they would like to visit before making an online application. Please note that advanced applications first become available on the first day of the month, three months in advance of the applicant's preferred touring month. For example, if your preferred date of visit falls in the month of April, you can begin applying on January 1. As these visits are over subscribed by the Japanese and overseas visitors, the Imperial Household Agency has to draw lots to pick the successful applicants. All applicants are notified on the status of their applications whether they are successful or otherwise within a week after closing date. Most applicants to the Imperial Palace are accepted, and early reservation is not usually necessary; however, those planning to visit the Sentō Imperial Palace, or either of the Imperial Villas should apply on the first available day of application as they are highly competitive and entire months of tours often become full within the first few days. Winter tours are typically much less competitive, but be aware that the gardens will not be as beautiful as other times of the year.

Kyoto is the number one travel destination in Japan, and because there are SO. MANY. things to see there it can be hard to figure out where to go. These are our three recommendations for first-time visitors: Kiyomizu-dera, Arashiyama (which is also where Tenryu-ji is), and Gion and the nearby street Shijo Dori + Yasaka shrine. Fushimi Inari Taisha is probably one of the more famous areas, but for us it was SO crowded that it was difficult to even get around. It kind of just made me feel sad because you could tell how incredibly beautiful and almost magical it would have been hundreds of years ago, but with the crowds today it was just about impossible to enjoy it. That's just my opinion, though, and many people love it anyway!
Kiyomizu-dera, Arashiyama, and the Gion general area are all extremely crowded, too (of course), but to me they were worth it despite that. And that's saying something because I can't stand crowded tourist spots!!
We also met the amazing singer Reika (of the group Juuichi) on Shijo Dori, and they very graciously allowed us to use their music!!

There are a million things to do in Kyoto, but these were my personal favorites from my time in the most historical city in Japan.
Here are my 10 best things to do in Kyoto:
** The most important advice I can give is to wake up as early as possible, I mean super early.
1. Rent a bike - this is the best way to beat the tourist traffic in Kyoto.
---
2. Bamboo Forest - Small forest in the neighboring area of Arashiyama.
---
3. Fushimi Inari Shrine - It is literally a mountain of hidden shrines, symbolic figurines and a seemingly never-ending pathway to spiritual enlightenment.
---
4. NinjaDojoClass - Kyoto is the cultural mecca of Japan, and while you’re here its good to get a taste of that - be it fact or folklore.
---
5. Kyoto SamuraiExperience - As you’ve seen in last week’s video, begin to understand the way of the warrior through samurai training.
---
6. Imperial Palace - Within Kyoto’s Central Park, is the Imperial Palace. Its a massive campus with pristine gardens and lots of room to do royal things.
---
7. Kinkaku-ji - “the GoldenPavilion” another expansive grounds centered around this lavish zen buddhist temple.
---
8. Heian Shrine - a beautiful Shinto shrine.
---
9. GionDistrict - Perhaps the most popular thing to do in Kyoto. This is where you can spot the famous geishas heading to and from appointments. Watch the sunset next to the YasakaPagoda.
---
Bonus: Find a great Shabu Shabu restaurant.
---
10. Karaoke - Finish the day at a Japanese Karaoke spot where you pay by the hour to sing and party!
---
In my personal opinion, these are the best things to do in Kyoto.

---
4. NinjaDojoClass - Kyoto is the cultural mecca of Japan, and while you’re here its good to get a taste of that - be it fact or folklore.
---
5. Kyoto SamuraiExperience - As you’ve seen in last week’s video, begin to understand the way of the warrior through samurai training.
---
6. Imperial Palace - Within Kyoto’s Central Park, is the Imperial Palace. Its a massive campus with pristine gardens and lots of room to do royal things.
---
7. Kinkaku-ji - “the GoldenPavilion” another expansive grounds centered around this lavish zen buddhist temple.
---
8. Heian Shrine - a beautiful Shinto shrine.
---
9. GionDistrict - Perhaps the most popular thing to do in Kyoto. This is where you can spot the famous geishas heading to and from appointments. Watch the sunset next to the YasakaPagoda.
---
Bonus: Find a great Shabu Shabu restaurant.
---
10. Karaoke - Finish the day at a Japanese Karaoke spot where you pay by the hour to sing and party!
---
In my personal opinion, these are the best things to do in Kyoto.

If you ever missed out on visiting Japan during the Cherry Blossom season, do not worry. During the fall it can be just as beautiful. Not only is the weather in November quite pleasing and less crowded than Hanami season, the colours of fall are absolutely breathtaking!
...
With autumn leaves red and gold falling from the trees, walking though the reflective streets after a rainfall, traditional wooden Machiya merchant houses and geisha's wandering the streets of Gion it really feels like you are transported back to the Tokugawa period.
Don't miss out on the KinkakujiGolden Pavillion and the Arashiyama bamboo forest nearby, and eating streetfood at the Nishiki market. This is also the place where Aritsugu is located, a famous Japanese knife merchant. They have the finest blades one could wish for in a kitchen and they even carve out your name on it.
We visited the Kiyomizu-dera temple, one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites. The temple is massive, made out of wood and not a single nail used in the entire structure. The view from the wooden veranda was just incredible.
We visited Fushimi Inari Shrine (伏見稲荷大社, Fushimi Inari Taisha). It is an important Shinto shrine in southern Kyoto. It is famous for its thousands of vermilion Torii gates, which straddle a network of trails behind its main buildings. The trails lead into the wooded forest of the sacred Mount Inari, which stands at 233 meters and belongs to the shrine grounds. This place is also famous due to the movie Memoirs of a Geisha, in which the young geisha is wandering through the Torii gates.
Nara-city is known for its deer, which roam around freely. In fact, thousands of deers come down from the hills and temples to visit the city in the daytime, and return once the sun goes down. According to legends, deers in Japan are messengers of the Gods and have become a symbol of the city. The deers are really quite tame and will even respectfully bow to ask for food.
In Osaka, we are once again transported to the future, in which streets are illuminated with neon, bright displays, Jpop music all around, filled with eateries and entertainment. We had one of our best meals in Japan at a tuna Specialized restaurant (Thanks foodblogger Mark Wiens), ordering tuna in various ways, grilled, bowled, raw, seared and minced. So delicious!
At Universal Studios Osaka we got to test ride their latest attraction: Harry Potter! Simply amazing how they recreated Hogwarts, the forest and the entire castle (outside as well as inside).

Tennis Elbow 2013 :: Mirza Basic Career #21 :: Kyoto FINAL

Inari Shrine in Kyoto, Japan

We walked the entire way up the mountain where the Inari shrine was in Kyoto, Japan. It took us 4 hours total to go up and then get all the way back down. We started a bit later in the day and did not realize how late it got on us while we were exploring the mountain. A gorgeous place and worth going all the way to the top. Bring tennis shoes, tshirt and maybe even some shorts. You are going to walk, climb and probably trip over things all the way up like I did. It was about 60 flights of stairs, or at least that is what my watch told me based on my stride/stair climbing abilities.
A must visit if you happen to be in Kyoto. Try to go early to avoid the huge crowds.

But just four years ago, aged 16, living in the city of Nagpur in India’s Maharashtra state – and at a miniscule height of 23 and a half inches – her future looked far more uncertain.
X-rays showed that Jyoti was walking on two broken legs that had failed to heal. This documentary follows her as she visits leading orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Ram Soni, who believes he can help.

Jyoti Amge is the world’s smallest living woman. Now aged 20, she’s an international celebrity, currently starring in the fourth season of hit US television series American Horror Story.
But just four years ago, aged 16, living in the city of Nagpur in India’s Maharashtra state – and at a miniscule height of 23 and a half inches – her future looked far more uncertain.
X-rays showed that Jyoti was walking on two broken legs that had failed to heal. This documentary follows her as she visits leading orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Ram Soni, who believes he can help.
However, after being told their daughter would not live after she was born, and having watched her survive against the odds, Jyoti’s protective parents are worried about putting their child through potentially painful tests and risky operations. What will they choose to do?
Watch as the devoted Hindu family visit a religious ceremony to consult a guru – where crowds see tiny Jyoti as a goddess, and flock to her for blessings. See what happens when they visit a healer who claims that he’s seen visions that tell him he can heal Jyoti’s legs without hurting her, using just ointments and infusions. And hear how Dr. Soni warns that without surgical intervention, the young girl’s condition could become even worse and she may shrink smaller still…
Caught between the worlds of modern medicine and traditional beliefs, Jyoti must stand up for her own decisions – even if she only stands less than two feet tall.

How have her activities and ideas influenced women's reproductive care in Brazil after being invited via JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency)? Ms. Sako will deliver a heartfelt message to future mothers and their families around the world.

Kazuko Sako was born in Ujiwara-cho, Kyoto Prefecture. From 1974 she became a midwife and in 1989 started a maternity center in Fushimi, Kyoto in an effort to revive natural childbirth, sending shockwaves throughout the midwife community. From 1995, through a JICA international project, she became involved in reforming Brazil's birth situation and has contributed to the decrease in Brazil's once over 90% rate of C-section births to 25% and the improvement of its once 60% newborn mortality rate. She stands as a legendary midwife who has delivered 1852 children.
"How You Bear is How You Live; Your Choice"
A dedicated midwife for 25 years, Ms. Kazuko Sako has long been inspiring mothers with the power to give birth naturally and their babies with the power to be born so. Why did Ms. Sako leave a hospital and start a maternity center? How have her activities and ideas influenced women's reproductive care in Brazil after being invited via JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency)? Ms. Sako will deliver a heartfelt message to future mothers and their families around the world.
